After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand sociological perspectives on housing and to apply these perspectives to historical and recent housing situations. Students are familiar with theoretical approaches to societal changes and the current discourse about housing. They can conduct and evaluate qualitative interviews and apply the basics of scientific and empirical social research.
Issues, where the societal changes become apparent, include changing values, new housing and households forms, digitalization and new technologies, as well ass the changing relation between living and working. The focus lies on the perspective of the inhabitants. What does housing mean for them and how can it contribute to an qualitative day-to-day life? These questions will put in relation with the the perspectives and tasks of architecs, developers, politics and discussed on the base of examples.
